It says the server timed out while I attempted to post any picture. :(

I dont know anything about coins, but it looks like some kid just used a belt sander on it.

How do you know it was struck on a dime planchet?? Is that a common error?

Thanks!

yeah, some kid did that so it could be used in a vending machine and counted as a dime.. That would explain how it got in a dime roll.
 
Looks like the penny on dime planchet is actually a regular penny with the sides grinded down to make the penny worth 10c in the vending machine business, cool find though!

The first wheatie I ever found while metal detecting was a shaved 1947-S cent the size of a dime. It looks pretty much like this 1976-D.
 
i found one of these as an ender on a dime box! really makes you go ???
